    What we offer

    We know that the right benefits and perks enable team members to do their best work and live their best lives. We look at benefits and perks holistically and focus on what really matters:

  • A competitive salary tied to market benchmarks for similarly sized companies 

  • Competitive commission plan with a compelling On-Target Earnings (OTE) opportunity.

  • Coverage of the majority of health and dental insurance premiums so that you can get the right care when you need it.

  • Short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance cover your worst-case scenarios.

Our current team members are parents, woodworkers, apple sauce canners, marathon runners, international trekkers, and accomplished musicians---just to name a few. 

  • Who we are

    Every clinical trial exists because someone is waiting for a treatment that does not exist yet. Studion is the leading independent delivery partner for the technology that runs those trials. We guarantee that the systems get built, tested, and live on time and to specification, with the risk on us. The industry sells effort. We sell certainty.

    That guarantee depends on something rare in this market: independence. We are not tied to any single eCOA, EDC, or eConsent platform. We work across them, accountable for the outcome rather than the seats. The result is faster study starts, cleaner study operations, and lower total cost per trial.

    We are building the category of specialist eCOA delivery from the ground up. The firm that owns what great looks like in clinical trial technology, independent of who built the platform. Trials that finish faster put treatments in front of patients sooner. That is what Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies, Healthy World means at Studion, and it is why the work matters.
